I picked it up last time it was 75% off and it is a great game at a great price, if you don't mind using Steam.

It's sitting in my steam library from the last steam sale... still unplayed.

Something that's more expensive in the US than in the UK on Steam?

Duck and cover, the four horsemen are coming.

Damuna: We've got a thread for this sort of stuff. :)
To be fair to the OP, a very large, unwieldy thread for this sort of thing.

It's a topic for gaming deals. You needn't go back further than a page or two, maybe five if there's a long-lasting deal. Besides that, when is Arkham Asylum not 75% off?

Also, please not that unlike the retail version, the steam version of Arkham Asylum has Securom with a 4 machine activation limit.

Great. They can shove it then.
Besides it's 7.5 Euros for me, so they can also shove their regional pricing.

Doesn't the retail version have it too? I thought I read in various places that it also does.

The Retail version uses it ONLY for a disc-check, where as the steam version is somewhat more invasive:

"The Steam version uses SecuROM to instate a 4-activations-per-month policy. It also watchdogs every system resource the game loads, if anything is found that it thinks is out of place, the game crashes. Most disturbingly, these crashes aren't displayed as being generated by SecuROM, they're displayed as general protection faults, making legit customers think that the game is buggy when it's the draconian DRM causing their problems.

The DVD version of the game, on the other hand, uses SecuROM for a simple DVD check, and that is all."

Holy hot damn. I can't believe I passed up on buying the disc version then. I always thought it had online activation.

This seems to come on steam sales at least once every couple of months LOL, I'm sick of seeing it; especially when so many games I want never go on sale. Also the Steam GOTY edition doesn't have all that DRM mess and GFWL is optional...

I guess the Gamersgate or D2D version also uses online activations ?

The game is brilliant. I would happily pay 30$ for it, just to support the devs, but this securom bullshit makes it not worth even 1$. I mean think of it. Not only does the game have steam drm and securom with limited activations. You also have to go through fucking GFWl activation. I cannot believe it.
